You read it right, Team USA just wrapped up the gold medal in the 2007 Fiba Americas Cup. The squad even qualified for next years Olympics in China. We are seeing a new and improved Team USA with major additions to recent editions. Jason Kidd, and Kobe Bryant have both had a major impact on the team that doesn't necessarily show up in the box score. These two future hall of famers bring a level of intensity to the game that is matched by few. It has been contagious as many of the younger players have elevated their focus, and all around confidence to new heights. Carmelo Anthony Had an incredible tournament. Anthony lead Team USA in scoring pouring in 21.2 points per outing on 61.3% shooting and 57.8% on triples. Lebron James was second on the squad in scoring at 18.1 points per game on 76% shooting, and 62.2% from deep. Lebron James also led Team USA in the ten game tournament with 47 assists, one more than point guards Jason Kidd, and Deron Williams. Dwight howard led the team in FG%, and rebounds. Kobe Bryant led the team in steals, and turnovers.
Luis Scola of Argentina was named the tournaments MVP. Scola was also the captain of the Argentina squad that lost the gold medal game to Team USA by the score of 118-81.
Some people might say that the gold medal game was probably the most clutch, and most important game for Team USA to drive that final nail in and really send a message to the rest of the world that Team USA means business. Who should step up for such a big game? Would it be the player who lead Team USA in minutes played? Would it be the versatile playmaker who lead Team USA in assists over the ten game tournament?
Yes it would. LeBron James stepped up his game to lead Team USA in the gold medal game with 26 minutes, 31 points on 11 of 15 from the floor, a mind boggling 8 of 11 from 3 point range 4 rebounds and 3 assists, in a 37 point Team USA gold medal victory.
Did I mention that Luis Scola of Argentina was named the tournaments MVP. Scola was also the captain of the Argentina squad that lost the gold medal game to Team USA by the score of 118-81.
Why such resistance to the run LeBron has had from this years playoffs to this astounding run in the Fiba Americas.
**Meandovine, what does that BDG board look like right now my friend?**
can we get just a little peek?
please?
Take a look at that face. When LeBron doesn't get the love he feels he deserves he gets angry. Keep him on the pay no mind list yall.
